Students will learn methods to properly deploy and configure their switching and routing environments using the ExtremeXOS/SwitchEngine CLI. This knowledge will be reinforced through actual hands-on experience with networking equipment in a lab environment, where students will perform real world tasks.
This course is designed as the first step for individuals responsible for the installation, configuration, and management of the Extreme Networks family of ExtremeXOS/SwitchEngine switches.
The ‘Meet Extreme Switching’ Welcome Series certification is a mandatory prerequisite and must be completed prior to attending the Extreme Switching – Installation and Configuration class. You should already possess a solid grasp of LAN concepts, including advanced Ethernet and TCP/IP. To learn the basics of networking, see Extreme Academy.
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
• Understand Layer 2 mechanisms and ways to implement and configure them in ExtremeXOS/SwitchEngine devices
• Understand Layer 3 mechanisms and ways to implement and configure them in ExtremeXOS/SwitchEngine devices
• Earn a learning credential on the Professional Programme training path
